Lurker of over a decade

the scary thing about being on the internet is that sometimes things blow up when you dont expect it

it's interesting bringing up some transfeminist theory to my drag race watching cis therapist thinking she'll disagree but then she just starts spitting incredible transfeminist truth that would cause 100 years discourse on tumblr.

and you know to be clear these aren't even things I would have said. I mean there's definitely Nuance at the very least. if I were to say the "transitioning into privilege" and "being accepted by patriarchy as men" things myself I'd want to be able to prove them out relatively rigorously, and I haven't done that, so don't take this as me doing a full cosign on these claims. but damn, she did just kind of say them

on the transitioning into privilege thing: I don't tend to say this one because I think it's at least probably not linearly true. my theory of this one is kind of in a fetal development stage but I tend to imagine that coming out as trans is a sharp drop in privilege not immediately outweighed by manhood, but then that passing as a man and performing masculinity start to up one's privilege again. #privilegemath

on the "being happily accepted into patriarchy" thing, my therapist was saying that men tend to be cool with it because it reaffirms that manhood is good and desireable. I hadn't really considered that angle in my own analysis. I usually operate under the assumption that an oppressor class will not be so happy to accept upward movement with open arms, but maybe your average man is not really concerned with gatekeeping manhood as a class, so long as the goodness of masculinity is being affirmed? definitely a thought that's influencing my theory a little

additionally, its actually necessary for an oppressor class to accept "upward" movement, when it means joining their ranks. this goes for any class with higher privilege. the best way to gain influence is to grow, and accepting new members into your class is an easy way to do that. it's why missionaries are like, even a thing.

people with siblings: how do you feel about them?

reblog if you remember having to ration your text messages and accidentally opening the internet on your phone was the end of the world

I'm so old i remember when people liked using Windows

haughty bratty girl with huge boobs bullying another girl who's completely flat. panel two shows huge boob girl getting the most amazing flat chested boob job of her life and cumming uncontrollably while profusely apologizing

Now that I'm full bore girl mode I NEED this dress so bad NEED NEED NEED

every evening i run to move the deodorant can on my desk from its spot when the sun gets near it because i have visions of it exploding from the heat of the sun and also igniting the nearby bottle of nail polish remover causing a giant fire in my room that kills me like im a final destination character

other ways i think i would probably die in a final destination movie: - dough hook on stand mixer flies off while kneading and stabs me in the head - accidentally inhaling bong water and somehow drowning - bus crash on the way to dublin airport sends me flying over o'connell street and i am impaled on the spire - i fall into the sea and can't swim back up due to large heavy statement earrings - electrocuted by my nintendo ds while playing pokemon during a thunderstorm

no, that last one is how you end up transported into a pokemon game and can't escape until you defeat the champion trainer who is played by the same actor who plays your dad

Not now, kitten, m- da- m- your parental figure is in the middle of a gender crisis

was confused by this guy golfing when the air is toxic then remembered golfers aren't people

seeing girls faces after i lift them into my arms and hearing them say no one’s done that before makes hitting the gym so worth it. i wanna make every single girl over 6 ft tall feel like a precious little princess because you all are. i love you. i do all of this for you.
